The certificate is merely a description of the stone. It does not ensure quality. All major lab reports say, \u201cThis certificate is NOT an appraisal, guarantee, or warranty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Diamond certificate will describe the carat weight, cut, color, and clarity of a stone. In addition, the table and depth percentages will be shown, as well the polish and symmetry of the stone. If the stone is <a class=\"article-link\" href=\"\/why-fluorescence-is-awesome\/\">fluorescent<\/a> that will be noted.<\/p>\n<p>Diamond grading is not a science. It simply reports the professional opinion of that particular grader at that particular time. Sometimes, even within a lab, there is a range of opinions on grades. The same stone can get two different grades!<\/p>\n<p>When selling your Diamond having a certificate helps the buyer determine value. But it is not the most important thing.
